Watch Dustin Yellin: A Journey Through the Mind of an Artist and then answer the following questions in small groups (on your own if absent)
-What do Dustin Yellin and Montag have in common in regard to views, values, and how they evolve in their choices?
-Why does Montag enjoy burning his own house?
-Why does Montag repeatedly ask whether Mildred is the one who turned him in?  Why would this matter at this stage in his life?
-Why does Montag burn Beatty?
Each question has: 1. A literal answer   2. An explanation based answer    3. A real life application

10H
Discussion of Gordon Parks photo assignments.  Everyone who was present (not on Laurenzo's field trip) got to explain: 1. The physical detail elements of their photo that stood out    2. The emotion/feeling word they attached to the photo.
View Grant Wood's "American Gothic" side by side (JUXTAPOSE!!!!!) with Gordon Parks' "American Gothic" and make a list of details that you note upon close viewing.  Focus on tangible (angles, focus, shadow/light, objects, etc.) and intangible (facial expression, mood/tone, interpretation, etc.)
